My guild play this week was better than the last week, this time around, I had better luck and I won 4 games out of six, and most importantly, I got 12 SPS and 1200 merit. Winning these days in the Guild is no longer as easy as it used to be, and 12 SPS for 6 games is good. My Guild members won quite nicely too, except for one player who lost 5 games and won nothing at all.
The most interesting part was that I bought a Gladius case and when I opened it, I got an epic gold-2 Edith Emberstar with a collection Power of 10,000 which is equivalent to 10k DEC if I choose to burn it for DEC. Although collection Power is not a prerequisite in the game for winning, the fact that I can convert this Gladius card for 10k DEC makes it worthwhile.
It's the second time consecutively that I'm getting a gold Gladius card while opening a Gladius case, and maybe I'll get a 50k gold-2 legendary card the next time I open a case. The remaining content of the Gladius case was average, but I didn't care, the gold card made up for everything.
On the other hand, Rebellion** (the next generation of cards) is here, and from the 18th the presale starts. From what I see, both the sales from the presale and the normal sale will be $3.10 and there are numerous rules as to why this generation of cards will be different. New summoners, different elements. The sales will now favor users who stake or keep their packs unopened, rather than opening or selling them.
I think because it's the bear market, splinterlands is prioritizing players who want to keep their assets rather than looking to cash out. So it's pretty difficult to cash out while still qualifying for the airdrops. A lot of players are already preparing for the presale starting from the 18th, I think the presale gives some special edition qualifications.
It's the bear market, so I don't think I'll be participating in this one, but I might just buy one or two packs during the presale, just to have a feeling, or maybe qualify for a futuristic airdrop. Splinterlands should probably have waited till after the BTC halving to release this one, at least the market might be in bullish mode, but then, I guess the game needs the money to keep flourishing, paying bills, and sustaining itself.
